They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog.

The villagers were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didnt last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops werent doing so well. More worry was that the children fell ill more often, and there were more insects around lately.

Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now, the people are still poor.

All the students had to take part in a talk on road safety which was given by a police officer. The following is what the police officer said. Most traffic accidents shouldnt happen. They happen because people are careless. Frequent cause of traffic accidents is speed. Some people drive too quickly. This means that if they have to stop suddenly, they cannot stop quickly enough to avoid(避免) hitting other vehicles(车辆) or people. You need to remember this when you are crossing the street or walking along the sidewalk. Its not only drivers who cause accidents, however, people on footpedestrians(行人), and bicycle riders often cause accidents, too. Pedestrians sometimes walk out into the street without looking. You should always look on both sides before stepping into the street. Do any of you ride a bike? Bicycle riders can cause accidents by changing directions suddenly or without warning other road users. Before you turn left, for example, you should check behind you to make sure there arent any cars, trucks or buses coming. You should show with your left hand to tell that you want to turn left. You should not turn until the street is clear. The rules of the road are very simple. If we learn them and obey them, we will not have accidents any more.50 . gave the students a talk on road safety last week.AA teacherBA headmasterCA police officerDA father of a student51 .
